BATH
This page is about some STREETLIGHTING in BATH in SOMERSET .
YEAR 1980
When I went to BATH for the first time in this year , I noticed all the lamp posts are painted black . This is the same colour as in BRISTOL and WESTON SUPER MARE for their lamp posts .
YEAR 1990s
In the city centre there is a lot of post top CU PHOSCO P109 lanterns on walls and on posts and there are some post top CU PHOSCO P111 lanterns as well.
YEAR 2002
I found some 5M metal posts with swan neck brackets . On these posts are top entry REVO LUCIDOR B lantern ( less gear ,35W SOX ) and the road name is RUSSELL STREET .

This is along ST JAMES PARADE and this was taken in Year Oct 2002 . I think this 10M post and lantern was made by REVO and in the lantern is a SON bulb . There is a lot of these lanterns in the city centre mounted on the walls. I only seen this lantern in BATH only and I have not seen it anywhere else. Behind this post is a 10M post with a PHILIPS SGS 203 lantern with a SON-T bulb. |

This is along GAY STREET and this was taken in Year Oct 2002 . This 6M cast iron post was made by REVO and the lantern is a post top REVO C136123 lantern . In the lantern is a SON bulb. There is a lot of these posts and lanterns along this road. April 2010 update = All the REVO C136123 lanterns has now been changed with new lanterns . The new lanterns is a copy of the REVO C136123 lantern and the top of the new lantern is now bigger . My guess they done this is to fit the control gear in it . I seen this post top REVO C136123 lantern in another town and it is in LYNTON in DEVON . I seen this REVO post in some other towns and they are YORK , BUXTON , WEYMOUTH , CAMBRIDGE and there were some in LONDON and these have been replaced with new modern posts. List of lanterns that were on this post in varous towns.

This is along PIERREPONT STREET ( A3039 ) and this was taken in Year Oct 2002 . This lantern was made by WATERS LIGHTING . This lantern has got a SON-T bulb with a reflector . On this lantern there is a name plate on the bottom of it and it says ( MADE IN ENGLAND BY WATERS LIGHTING and their telephone and fax number and a serial number of this lantern ) . On this as well is a date when this lantern was made and I think this was made in 1996 . I seen this lantern in another town and it is in BURY ST EDMUNDS. |
